Chelsea to Play Without Palmer Fofana and Tosin for Brighton Game
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has confirmed that three key players will not be available for Saturday’s Premier League meeting with Brighton.
Cole Palmer is the biggest name on the list, with the forward set to spend around three weeks on the sidelines after picking up a groin injury. Palmer, who has only managed two league starts this season, lasted just 21 minutes in Chelsea’s last outing against Manchester United before being withdrawn.
Speaking ahead of the game, Maresca explained the decision to rest him: “We felt it was better not to risk Cole and allow the injury to get worse. The plan is to give him two to three weeks, hopefully he’s ready after the international break.”
The Blues will also be without defenders Tosin Adarabioyo and Wesley Fofana. According to Maresca, Tosin has a calf problem that will likely keep him out until the international break, while Fofana is still recovering from a concussion he suffered in the Carabao Cup clash with Lincoln.
Aside from those absences, the manager noted that the rest of the squad is fit and available for the Brighton game.
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.
He shared an update on Saka and stated that he is doing better after going through a hip injury. “His hip is improving a lot. Hopefully, he’ll be ready soon.”
He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
